hello there, i'm Nettra (pronounced according to spelling: net + tra = nettra).
i'm a global nomad and digital native currently based in Paris. i was born in California, raised in Phnom Penh and loved my three years in New York City.
i am a recovering political scientist keen on helping diverse stakeholders work together towards sustainable solutions to poverty. learning about the impact of technology, entrepreneurship and creativity on society is what gives me energy.
this tumblr helps me keep track of things which have happened to me, as well as the interesting, funny, inspiring and beautiful links i find this on this internet odyssey (read more).
for something more focused and structured (i.e., without photos of cute animals), you may like to browse my online art portfolio or visit my website. you can also find me on twitter, ask me a question or feed my fish.

'Cold Pastoral' by Marina Keegan
I’ve shared an article about Keegan’s death before but reading one of her stories makes me realize a bit more just what a loss of talent it was.
I was getting ready to go to bed but clicked on @angitweets’ link on facebook and got sucked into a tragic story well-written.
Keegan writes from her own perspective as a college student today, referencing parties and Facebook… not something found in classic literature but terribly poignant and relatable.
Do read it.
We are so young. We are so young. We’re twenty-two years old. We have so much time.
Marina Keegan died in a car crash recently. She was my age. This article remembers her and inspires us all, even though I never knew her: Yale Grad Marina Keegan Dies in Car Crash; Teaches Us How Not to Be Fearful
